1-2 Theory and Principles of Operation
Detector description
The Waters 2489 UV/Visible Detector is a two-channel ultraviolet/visible
(UV/Vis) detector designed for high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC) applications.
Waters 2489 UV/Visible Detector
The detector can operate either as a stand-alone unit (with a chart recorder or
integrator) or as an integral part of a Waters chromatography system.
The detector can be configured with Empower™ or MassLynx™ software
systems.
Features
The detector operates from 190 to 700 nm. The detector uses optics with an
enhanced illumination system for improved performance. These design
features increase the optical throughput and sensitivity and reduce
bandwidth for an overall increase in signal-to-noise ratio and improved
linearity.
